Hi all, I’m very confused. Currently trying to set up Discourse to migrate my large community from Facebook. I’ve been thinking about how I’ll structure it through categories, and it was mentioned to me that tags can help for that too. As I understand, tags in Discourse are quite “category-like” (at…
